"However, there is another way to explain Rust. This alternate story focuses on unique versus shared access to values in memory. I believe this version is useful for understanding why various checks exist and how they provide memory safety."

When working with database capacity planning, there are a lot of variables to consider, and Postgres is no different in this regard. One of the elements which requires management is storage. However, there’s an aspect of storage that escapes inspection almost without exception, and it’s hiding in the shadows between the columns themselves.

However, there remain a number of concerns about them. One is that it can be quite challenging to understand what a neural network is really doing. If one trains it well, it achieves high quality results, but it is challenging to understand how it is doing so. If the network fails, it is hard to understand what went wrong.

This is an introduction to doing research with the LLVM compiler infrastructure. It should be enough for a grad student to go from mostly uninterested in compilers to excited to use LLVM to do great work.

"Van Jacobson is a Research Fellow at PARC. Prior to that he was Chief Scientist and co-founder of Packet Design. Prior to that he was Chief Scientist at Cisco. Prior to that he was head of the Network Research group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He's been studying networking since 1969. He still hopes that someday something will start to make sense."

"Earley parsers are among the most general parsers out there. They can parse any context free language without restriction, and can even be extended towards context sensitivity. They are reasonably fast on most practical grammars, and are easy to implement (the core algorithms take less than 200 lines of code)."

"nce you have a successful parse, extracting the tree from it is a little bit like pulling teeth. You have to perform searches on the Early set data, and deal with ambiguities at that point."

"Starting this week, I will be teaching an introductory graduate course (Math 275A) on probability theory here at UCLA. While I find myself using probabilistic methods routinely nowadays in my research (for instance, the probabilistic concept of Shannon entropy played a crucial role in my recent paper on the Chowla and Elliott conjectures, and random multiplicative functions similarly played a central role in the paper on the Erdos discrepancy problem), this will actually be the first time I will be teaching a course on probability itself (although I did give a course on random matrix theory some years ago that presumed familiarity with graduate-level probability theory)."

The DNS is defined in literally dozens of different RFCs.
The terminology used by implementers and developers of DNS protocols, and by operators of DNS systems, has sometimes changed in the decades since the DNS was first defined. This document gives current definitions for many of the terms used in the DNS in a single document.

In my pursuit to understand Git, it’s been helpful for me to understand it from the bottom up — rather than look at it only in terms of its high-level commands. And since Git is so beautifully simple when viewed this way, I thought others might be interested to
read what I’ve found, and perhaps avoid the pain I went through finding it.

"System calls are the primary mechanism by which user-space programs interact with the Linux kernel. Given their importance, it's not surprising to discover that the kernel includes a wide variety of mechanisms to ensure that system calls can be implemented generically across architectures, and can be made available to user space in an efficient and consistent way."

"This post came to my mind after watching the excellent presentation of Scott Meyers called "CPU Caches and Why You care". This post will try to summarize the ideas of the presentation so if you have some spare time you can just watch the presentation on video."

I don't often come here to comment but as someone in progress on an original research masters in number theory I can say this is utter bullshit. I assume your 'interesting' qualification (somehow) excludes obvious candidates like Landau's problems [0]. Some examples. I was taught about the ABC conjecture as an undergrad. You can easily teach the Brun sieve [1] method of working out that the sum of the reciprocal of the twin primes converges...

We are in the process of writing a book on Mathematics for Machine Learning that motivates people to learn mathematical concepts. The book is not intended to cover advanced machine learning techniques because there are already plenty of books doing this. Instead, we aim to provide the necessary mathematical skills to read those other books.

Upgrade approximately 1500 Postgres database clusters from version 9.3 to 10, in 6 data centres, with sizes ranging from ~1GB to 500+GB within a downtime window of 15 minutes (with a 30 minute outside maximum).
